In Reply to: to docma....would you advise me how to prepare for step 3? posted by IMG on April 29, 2007 at 08:51:41:
I can tell you what I did. Although its upto you to decide whats best
I studied really hard for about 2 weeks. I did however study off and On for 1 month.
I did UW ONCE ( both MCQ and ccs)
I read most of the kaplan notes and listened and viewed to a few videos although to be honest I would have liked to do ALL of them. Because I am convinced that they are not bad.
YOu have to understand that the exam does not want to test you with complicated problems. They ask common medical conditions and are looking for your clinical skills. hence it makes sense to study the material "disease" wise rather than subject wise. I hope you understand what I mean by that. The kaplan videos do just that. They take omne disease at a time and evaluate the clinical scenario and give the imp. material. This also helps in real practice.
This is what I did... and passed comfortably... and feel relieved.
Good luck to you
